Tires DUNLOP or Shinko

72k miles riding year round and like the Dunlop, after trying different manufacturers. I now use the American made Dunlop Elite, but also liked the original one because they wouldn't break loose in winter.

- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.

One of the best tires on a Harley. Have had a problem in the past with 1 tire that was fitted on front for customer, but overall, really outstanding tire. The factory tires are also made by Dunlop, but the typical lifespan is around 3/4 of a Elite at best.

If you’re dealing with rough roads and gravel check out the dunlop mutants. I have them on my mt09 and i love them. They handle great in the twist and not afraid to bomb a dirt road. Great tire ill buy again and again

Best bang for your buck is the Dunlop RoadSmart III. You should be able to get 6k+ miles. And they’re plenty sticky enough for spirited riding in all but expert track conditions.

It was ok up to about 35000 miles. After that, They dangerously hydroplane like crazy. But those first 30000, I really didn’t have much issues.

With its original Dunlop Enasaves our Gen. 4 Prius consistently indicated \~ 62-63mpg in mixed driving. At \~ 42,000mi. the Dunlops were replaced with Michelin Defenders, the mileage immediately dropped over 18% which persisted for nearly 1000mi.

Dunlops are trash. However, they are quieter than Yokohamas on 19.

Yes. Whatever craptastic run flat, I think Dunlops? that came on the Infiniti. I lasted about 8 months and 8K miles, being very liberal with throttle input, to justify to myself trashing them and replacing them with Michelin PS.

Idk I got rid of em at 15k cuz they’re annoying. Still had life. Just insane road noise
